Featured Reviews

Chris French - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Enterprise Workfront Team at Capital One
Enhanced project management and automation simplify reporting and approval processes
I think that Adobe Workfront could be improved in several areas, including reporting, which I've already mentioned. There are very specific things within the custom forms that I think could be improved, such as having different labels within forms instead of system-wide. The ability to hide options in a drop-down at the custom form level instead of system-wide would be another improvement. There are times we have to create brand new fields because we need slightly different wording within the label. If we had the capability, we could easily trim down from over 1,000 custom fields to about 400 custom fields if we had the ability to have individual labels by form. So reporting is a big one, and I think there are some not huge changes needed, but improvements to custom forms and custom fields would be beneficial. My experience with reporting in Adobe Workfront so far is that the reporting could be better. The ability to report is great, but I think it is too difficult. Regarding dashboards, they are crucial to be able to pull information from different levels, but that's also a negative because it is very difficult to do that on a report. If I have issue-level data and project-level data that I need to see, with some custom coding, you can do some of it in a report, but in general, if you have a lot of that blended data between levels, you need to use a dashboard, which requires two different reports due to the difficulty in pulling data at the different levels into one thing.

Integrates cloud workflows with databases and has revealed areas we still want to explore
The best features Nomad offers directly integrate with AWS, which is useful for us. The database link feature helps my team because we have a lot of database linking. Nomad has positively impacted my organization as it is still in an evaluation phase, so I cannot comment on that right now. I have early signs and expectations that Nomad might improve efficiency.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"AtTask is a great project management and workflow management tool."
"Great software that is customisable and easy to use."
"AtTask is quite easy to learn and use to manage simple projects."
"It is a great tool and functions well across an organization."
"I love the custom forms - the custom forms have fulfilled every need for data needs within Workfront, and the flexibility to integrate custom form fields into any report, view, filter or grouping has been wonderful"
"I liked the KPI functionality."
"I like being able to update the status of my projects so everyone can have visibility to what I am working on and its status."
"Logging hours is not painful, there are several choices to input them."
"In my opinion, the best feature that Nomad offers is quality, meaning its reliability and performance."
"The best features Nomad offers directly integrate with AWS, which is useful for us."
 

Cons

"The ways for employees to generate reports; e.g their own workload in calendar year 2014; are not necessarily as intuitive as they could be."
"We were having some difficulties creating different kinds of reports and dashboards."
"Customizing and maintaining Workfront can be very time consuming."
"Sometimes response times are longer than I would like."
"Improving the efficiency of converting issues to projects is also essential; when converting issues to projects, users should remain on the same page rather than being redirected."
"Sometimes there are glitches when we are reviewing an interactive proof."
"Reporting using charts could be improved - I currently export a few complex reports to Excel in order to create the charts that I need."
"I have used the product and instantiated it, almost seven years back. The process was fairly complex, however, I don't know if they have changed the same now. But this is something I think, if not addressed can be improved. Another area that needs a little attention, is the change of implementation lead. Back when we had Workfront instantiated, we often had our timeline delayed due to the change in the implementation lead. Now Workfront is under Adobe and, in case, this issue, isn't fixed it should be given due attention. Also, Workfront is a universal tool, which can pose a difficulty for small businesses and companies, who don't have the required time, effort, and knowledge to configure it periodically."
"Right now, I have not seen a return on investment and cannot share relevant metrics with you."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a barrier to implementation. It is expensive compared to other competitors. Speaking about licensing, they have a private manager license for $1000, which you can use for administration as well. Then they offer a worker license for $500, and then a reviewer or contributor license which is free."
"Adobe purchased Workfront in the past year, and they're putting work into developing the platform, so I expect the price to rise. It isn't cheap, but it's reasonable for the value it provides. It isn't Monday.com where you pick a license with a set price, and you've got a project manager."
"Speaking about pricing, I wouldn't recommend it to a smaller company because I do think the price point is higher than other solutions that can work."
"The pricing of Workfront is completely license based."
"We are partners with Adobe, so we get the licensing at a cheaper rate."
"Adobe Workfront is an expensive solution."
